Dan Murphy ‏@sportsnetmurph 35mHearing specialist has confirmed no real damage to Luongo's ankle. Sounds like he can start skating as soon as its pain free. #canucks

@LavoieRenaud Roberto Luongo (ankle) should be out for 7 to 14 days. Better than first expected.

Both Yzerman and Gillis must be breathing a quiet sigh of relief.

Honestly, the Club has to do two things in the aftermath of the last couple of games:

1) Gillis must at least campaign somewhat for better vigilance on crease-crashing and goalie contact. and;

2) Tortorella should put Luongo's MRI up in the locker room to wake them up to how close they came to their starter getting seriously injured by ass-clownery that should have been prevented or, at worst, punished with retribution. Hopefully it may motivate the rest of those pacifists wearing the uniform.

No doubt, behind the scenes either by the players or as a team they plan on crashing our net to throw our goalies off, and it's all done accidentally/on-purpose.

That's a good way to get your name added to the lawsuit.

Nowhere does he have to be specific and explicit about anything; that stuff will come up in court.

But implicitly, if something like that doesn't motivate the team to take better care of their goalies then you wonder if there's hope for them.

That leaves 14 healthy forwards including Burrows. Torts has already said Booth and Weise will be sitting out at least one more game. That leaves little doubt that Burrows will be back in the lineup tomorrow.

I sure hope you are right... Probably stupid but I just dumped Craig Smith and added Burrows on my Yahoo fantasy team...!The guy is still listed as injured reserve, but if I wait till tomorrow, lots of people will attempt to pick him up if it's announced he'll play. Also, I had to bench two forwards on Saturday and one on Sunday, which are days Smith play, but I have empty slots on Friday and Monday, so if Burrows joins the team and plays on Friday, I'll gain two starts. I think it's worth the gamble!
